Bio

11th November 2024, 1 year ago
Its everything, I know many good landlords but no 'rogue' landlords I know many Tenants and quite a few terrible tenants, tenants who have destroyed good people's property for nothing more than the landlord asking them to abide by the...

Reply to the comment left by Desert Rat at 11/10/2024 - 12:43This should be fairly simple, have you tried the person who did the original EPC, otherwise you can go online (I have used Openrent and Nationwide EPC) or the...

Hi, No, the EC04 program is for all applicants (best if tenants apply) it doesn't matter how old the property is. If the tenant is on some sort of DWP benefit then they should try to upgrade the property to...

Jesus, If the tenant threatened you, then if it were me, she would get a S21 immediately, it definitely shows what she will do in the future. That is one toxic tenant. Good luck!

Reply to the comment left by Desert Rat at 10/10/2024 - 13:37Same here, I always tried to encourage folks to become an LL, but now I would not do so as I do not think they would be able to...

Hi Alison, Sorry, yes, I mis-understood, you can serve it early of course, but it is inadvisable, in my experience, the more notice you give, the more it will cost you in lost rent and damage. I understand why you...

Actually, I can. They probably thought that it was not good enough for them, they probably wanted a better one. It's sick, but it's reality, it's not the first time that I have come across this situation.

Hi Fiona, I am unfamiliar with Scottish law, but yes, it is in a tenant's interest for an English LL to evict them if they want to qualify for a council house. Eviction makes them homeless and then they qualify...

Reply to the comment left by Alison Clark at 03/10/2024 - 17:45LOL, you are assuming that this process is fair and equal, it is not. As I said before, you will have to get everything legally correct or you will...

Hi Alison, Unfortunately, no. The start of the eviction time must not begin until after the termination date of the AST, therefore your section 21 cannot begin until the end of the AST, giving the 2-month notice period, the earliest...

Hi Alison, As far as I know, your agent is correct, if you serve the 21 on 27/1/25 the court will void it as you cannot serve it to start before the end of the AST finishes. The tenant can...

Yeah!, I understand the sentiment, but I smell trouble ahead. Unfortunately. Due to the problems we face as LLs, I would get everything in writing, as friends can sometimes become enemies when there is a cross with business, and this...

Well, I didn't say that I wouldn't raise the rent, I just said that I wouldn't raise the rent because of the upgrades. We have to keep up with inflation and other costs that are imposed on us or we...

It may be worth trying at least. They can only say no, and you may well get some insulation for free. As I said, one of my properties is housing a retired gent who was gifted roof insulation and better...

Beaver, I don't think that you were being too cynical. I believe that the EP04 scheme was brought in well before Red Ed's and co's reign began. I started my improvements campaign before the election and was just trying to...
